Thread: {un}holy?! haiku challenge

Lost to inky kills
The author kills his darlings
He weeps yet smiles.

He weeps yet smiles,
The man walking through the park.
What is he thinking?

What is he thinking?
sculpture frozen in cold stone
he look, like a man.

He look, like a man.
Eye contact reveals fear's hint
Helpless to save them.

Helpless to save them
As they fall down to the ground.
Now the yard is red.

Now the yard is red.
Forgiving crimson stains trees.
Story of ages.

Story of ages.
Howling from burning lungs.
Guilty branded heart.

Guilty branded heart
Of a forgotten passion,
Sleep's hard on the mind.

Sleep's hard on the mind
When you have been awakened
By unsteady thoughts

By unsteady thoughts
we toddle our mental way
toward Reason's door.

Towards Reason's door,
I stumbled, unaware that
soldiers watched my steps.

soldiers watched my steps
(well, lighted plastic "tin" ones)
Holiday season

Holiday season,
And there's leaves decomposing
Under snowy layers

'Neath snowy layers
Tulips and crocuses dream
All snug in their beds

All snug in their beds,
They dream, as I drift awake,
The night is for me.
